As spring approaches, multiple religious holidays follow: Easter, Passover, Ramadan and Holi. Each marks the renewal of the natural world and of hope, its counterpart in the psyche.
During this time, families and friends often gather around the table to celebrate that renewal. Setting a beautiful table — an art known as tablescaping — often becomes the focus of hosts who seek to create a harmonious and lasting impression. Montesino Ranch, a local retreat and wedding venue, aims to showcase this year’s tablescaping trends at its Celebrate Spring event on April 16.
“This is a little like bringing Pinterest to life! We hope the event inspires everyone to create their own beautiful tables at home,” said designer and artist Pearly Rihn, who organized the event with Lauren Groves. “We want to show that anything can spark an idea to create a theme, and by using a few bold elements, either from nature or from treasures we already have, we can build a winning tablescape that everyone can enjoy.”
